Why is this needed?Joining a new server and finding the chat to be cluttered with a hundred colorful tags that you don't know the meaning of can be extremely confusing and off-putting. Especially if you're the only one with a plain grey name, you feel excluded and unimportant. This is the exact opposite of what we want for new players.

Current plan:First, i plan to remove pointless formatting. This involves excluding the rank tag from the name tag and removing the tag brackets. Possible example:<(Owner)NyanCat>Owner<NyanCat>

Additionally, the default text color for all ranks will be white, including my own. Manually adding color to text is still possible, should however remain an exception.The Veteran tag (+) will be removed entirely. Instead, a VET player will have blue name brackets (< >) and any other player will retain grey brackets.All player names will be white, even those of staff.

Here are two full color examples of a changed rank:

I am also considering to change the Commander and Agent tags to "Admin / Moderator" or "SMod / Mod" based on player reception and feedback.

I encourage everyone to submit their opinion or possible improvements!

Ayy yas I love cyan.
Either the bright one (&b) or the darker shade (&3). Id actually prefer the darker cyan but since its derps chat color that might be confusing again. But the brighter one is your chat color. Im not sure haha.
We could just go with basic dark grey? Idk if thats flashy enough to make players read check when Agents adress them but it sure would look bossy :D

Wow I forgot to say the positive shit first.
I like this! :D
Makes chat more transparent and thus less spam which makes it easier for not ranked players to be seen too even when many staff members are talking :)

Thanks for taking care of this.

Thank you c:

And chat colors will be gone, but dark blue is already used for the blue ranks and grey is used for the brackets still :o

Imo agents should have Mod and SMod(or Mod+)for the agent+ so theres still some distinction, and commanders to Admins as they are both much shorter and people have a better understanding of what each one means since its a more common naming system they have seen on other servers

Yeah i was going to change it from
Agent - Agent+ - Commander
to
Mod - SMod - Admin

I like the unique charm of our titles, but noone knows what they mean without asking. And while this isn't a big issue with other ranks, Agents especially NEED to be available to new players for stuff like protections, so they have to know who to ask.

I totally agree with the problems we have now. so its a great change. Tho keep the colors of the staff / admins easy to understand. i think the most common admin color is red / bright red.
